Scarce. In Italian and English. Colorful, fantastical furniture -- the antithesis of minimalism design! Renzo Arbore is an Italian television host, singer, actor and film director. (--Wikipedia). Miami Swing was born from a meeting between Alida Cappellini, Giovanni Licheri and Renzo Arbore, who inspired a furnishing line that reflects his lifestyle and philosophy. This book is not a catalogue of furniture designed by Arbore; Arbore is the muse inspiring the designers Cappellini and Licheri, whose theatrical design research has blossomed into a tropical decor, with a soupçon of contemporary neo pop language.
